George shot to fame on C4’s Gogglebox in 2013 alongside his mum Linda McGarry and her hubby Pete.

He was later on Celebrity Big Brother.

Following his death, George’s pals led heartwarming tributes to the star – with a bunch of them said to have gathered at a pub in Clacton-on-Sea – where George lived – to celebrate his life over a drink.

One of them told The Sun: “George was George. He was a good bloke with a big heart who loved his family.

“He was a bit of a party lad, but he was good entertainment for everyone who knew him.

“Nobody deserves this to happen so young – 40 is no age and to die at work is horrific.
